Born and raised in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, I developed an early passion for drawing and painting the scenic places around me and naturally was drawn to pursuing a fine art education. Upon being introduced to photography during my studies, I was inspired to pursue it as a profession and later achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Photography from Kutztown University.
Today, I’m a photographer inspired by food, drink, interior design and travel. I'm a very active cook and cocktail creator and will nerd out when talking to bartenders at my favorite establishments. I love what I do and am fortunate to collaborate with extremely talented creatives on projects from editorial to advertising while gaining international exposure.
I am centrally located to New York, Philadelphia & New Jersey and travel anywhere my clients need me for photography. My photoshoots are either on-location or in studio environments with all the creative and technical resources available for a successful production. I am represented by Robert Bacall Reps.
